VIP & close protection
Discreet, professional protection for VIPs, executives, dignitaries and high-profile individuals — at residences, in transit and at venues.
Protection that lessens the threat — without the spotlight.
Also known as close protection, our VIP services are designed for inconspicuous protection that reduces the threats that come with your employment, profile or status. We combine layered security, advance planning and rehearsed emergency drills, while keeping disruption to the principal to an absolute minimum.
Every engagement begins with a threat and risk assessment of the principal, the itinerary and each location — so protection is matched to the real risk, not guesswork.
A complete protective package
Layered, planned and rehearsed — covering the principal at home, on the move and in public.
Advance Work & Route Planning
We reconnoitre venues and routes, identify entry and exit points, safe rooms, and the nearest hospitals and police stations — with a primary and alternative route for every journey.
Layered Protection
An inner close-protection ring around the principal and an outer ring controlling the venue perimeter, access and screening.
Secure Transport
Trained protection drivers keep the vehicle ready for immediate departure, minimise door-to-door exposure and execute the planned escape route.
Residence & Venue Security
Protection of the principal at home and at events, with controlled arrivals and departures to keep exposure as short as possible.
Command & Communications
Continuous, discreet communication between the close-protection officer, drivers and our 24-hour control room — confirming every phase of the movement.
Emergency Extraction
In an emergency the priority is to cover, move and extract the principal to the nearest safe location or hospital — never to stay and engage.
